Hey so wanted to post this for anyone wanting to give it a try. This is the track I made today at Cherokee NF on a few of the FS Roads.

So I finally got to shoot a roll of Phoenix 200 while in Chattanooga TN recently.
I was quite surprised by what I got. The color is very bright and very sharp. Can it be a little punchy, sure yes but it has a cool vibe to it I think.
Halation, yep it has it and it is proud of it. In fact they will tell you it is going to be there so that there is no surprise it is there.
My final take on this film is really cool vibe with punchy color and a very artistic vibe to it. I will be picking more of this up for future shooting and would recommend it for anyone.
Harman Phoenix 200 was shot on a Pentax P30 using a 28-70 zoom lens.
When it comes to camping, finding the perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle can elevate your outdoor experience to a whole new level. While popular campgrounds have their charm, true adventure seekers know that hidden gems off the beaten path offer a unique and tranquil escape from the crowds. In this guide, we’ll explore how to uncover these hidden treasures and discover off-the-beaten-path campgrounds that promise solitude and serenity.
Venturing off the beaten path presents the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature without the distractions of modern life. These hidden gems offer a sense of discovery and exclusivity that can’t be found in mainstream campgrounds. By straying from the well-trodden trails, you’ll uncover hidden pockets of beauty that few have had the privilege to experience.
To find these off-the-beaten-path campgrounds, thorough research is key. Utilize online resources, forums, and local recommendations to uncover hidden gems that suit your camping preferences. Look for lesser-known state parks, national forests, or private camping sites that offer seclusion and natural beauty.
When camping in remote locations, it’s essential to pack smart. Ensure you have all the necessary gear, including tents, sleeping bags, cooking supplies, and first aid kits. Since these hidden gems may lack amenities like running water and electricity, prepare to be self-sufficient during your stay.
Off-the-beaten-path campgrounds may not have clearly defined trails or signage, adding an element of adventure to your journey. Embrace the thrill of exploration as you navigate unmarked paths and discover hidden corners of wilderness. Be prepared with maps, compasses, and GPS devices to ensure you can find your way back to camp.
One of the greatest rewards of camping in secluded spots is the opportunity to reconnect with nature on a deeper level. Listen to the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the gentle flow of streams as you immerse yourself in nature’s symphony. Away from the noise of civilization, you’ll find peace and tranquility in the embrace of the great outdoors.
Unearthing hidden gems in the world of camping offers a unique and unforgettable experience for outdoor enthusiasts. By venturing off the beaten path, you’ll discover tranquil havens that provide a retreat from the crowds and a deeper connection with nature. Embrace the unknown, pack your gear, and set off on an adventure to uncover the hidden treasures that await in off-the-beaten-path campgrounds.
Winter may seem like an unlikely time to think about camping, but it can actually be a great opportunity to prepare for your springtime outdoor adventures. There are a few things you can do during the winter months to ensure that you’re ready for your next camping trip.
Firstly, you can use the winter months to research potential camping locations. Look for campgrounds that are open in the spring and summer months, and read reviews from other campers to get an idea of what to expect. You can also research hiking trails and other outdoor activities in the area to plan your itinerary.
Secondly, use the winter months to check and repair your camping gear. Inspect your tent, sleeping bags, and other camping equipment for any signs of wear and tear, and make any necessary repairs. This will ensure that your gear is in good condition and ready to use when you head out into the wilderness.
Finally, you can use the winter months to plan out your meals and snacks for your camping trip. Research easy camping recipes that you can make ahead of time and pack with you, and stock up on non-perishable snacks like trail mix, granola bars, and dried fruit.
By taking these steps during the winter months, you’ll be well-prepared for your spring camping trip and can enjoy the great outdoors with ease and comfort.

So we are headed for the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia, never been there before so don’t know what to expect. what I do know is that they are apart of the Smoky Mountain chain. I will be scouting out for future adventures to this area so stay tuned for that.
So coming soon will be a video on the MTO Productions channel taking a look at the photos shot by the Canon K2. I will have to say that I am quite impressed by the photos. Now I was using Fujifilm X-tra 400 in this batch, not a fan of the green hue it can produce. The next roll will be Kodak Ultramax 400. But I like using a more budget film for the first roll to make sure it works. So below I will leave a couple of examples of what we got. Now will also say I let CJ shoot the majority of the roll.
As I write this we are on the road headed to Georgia for a quick trip. With that said there are some big trips coming. One of which will put me into South Carolina.
This trip my turn into way more as I am still planing it out. Thinking out loud here may come back through Georgia and possibly camp in GA while here. That would put me camping in two different states that I have never camped before. That would also put me camping for four days and three nights.
I look at this being my true shot at taking this full time sooner than later. This will test my determination at becoming a full time YouTuber and social media influencer. Maybe it is time to turn my focus to more about what my goal is, but only faith and time will tell. Thanks for reading this and following along with me.
Well as this trip comes to a close, I want to post some pictures and let you know there will be a video coming soon. While on this trip we also hit a milestone on YouTube. We are now sitting 1700 subscribers. Getting close to that 2K. So here are the pictures from the trip.
